Always check your skin’s undertone in natural lighting, as artificial lighting can change how color appears on your skin. If you can’t tell what exact color your veins are, chances are you have neutral undertones—you can pull off warm and cool colors![2] X Research source
Complexion refers to the color of your skin, while undertone is a specific shade within that color.
Your eyes can change color in different lighting, so try to look at your eye color in natural light to see the true color.
Make sure to use your natural hair when finding your seasonal color palette, as it’ll help you know if you have natural cool or warm undertones.
